Remarking on the introduction of RAND Boats to the portfolio, Peter Hrones, Eyachts Managing Director stated, “RAND Boats are the perfect match for the Eyachts portfolio. RAND fits perfectly between our Axopar, the original adventure boats, Pardo Yachts, our Italian entertainment dayboats and Greenline our electric cruisers…”

Adding to the excitement with the new Ax/e range from Axopar Peter explains, “Axopar has always been at the forefront of the boating industry and has become a global and national sensation. I am proud to be partnered with a brand that is listening to boaters and delivering viable electric solutions.”

 Hrones imported his first dayboat in 2007, which was years ahead of its time with a unique and controversial look, people believed these would never sell Downunder. In 2015 Eyachts imported its first Axopar, and again many friends within the industry warned Hrones that this concept would not work. Years on there are now almost 300 Axopars in Australian & NZ waterways with huge demand and many companies trying to replicate these designs.

RAND boats differ from all others in that they are real-world practical and sustainable solutions with a design and style that makes them instantly iconic. These are expertly designed vessels, professionally built on a commercially viable scale which has already defined RAND as an established and highly respected brand across Europe.

Ross Turner explains, “RAND isn’t building a handful of electric boats each year and figuring it out as they go, they have the professional strategy, engineering experts and manufacturing resources, as well as a modern Scandanavian focus on excellence and innovation, to deliver the boats of the future now. This is something they’re already doing in Europe in unprecedented numbers.”

Having been amongst the first to trial the new Ax/e 25, Rowan Mcmahon emphasised, “when Axopar announced their partnership with Evoy I knew they would only launch a boat that lived up to the Axopar name and they have done that. The moment you push the throttles forward, you feel the torque,” he explains, comparing the sensation to driving an electric car. This instant power, combined with Axopar’s highly efficient performance hull, means that the boat “cuts through the water very nicely. We reached a top speed of 49.5kts which is incredible. I believe the Ax/e range is a real winner.”
